Thomas said, “With the Big E coming in a couple weeks, it’s going to really be a nightmare down here. So, I’m hopeful the people that are in charge of the roadways and byways and highways are going to develop some type of system, so that workers will not be held up trying to get to work.”

The full width of I-91 North and southbound will also be restored and in use by the spring of 2018. The joint venture will begin removing temporary alignments of local roads that were built in stage 1A.

MassDOT will hold a public meeting on September 13, to provide information on this construction project.
